Absolutely. But as other posters have already stated, things like hometowns, despite being meaningless, add to their enjoyment. The "player" obviously isn't actually from anywhere, but we pretend like he is. Just like we pretend that this is a real game.

For an entire game based on imagination, I'm surprised so many people are judgmental about imagining aspects of this fake game.

And wow...what a fastball this guy has got! Strange, considering he throws it so slow...I guess it makes sense that Ono is so much better - would rather face Pena's 82 MPH fastball than Ono's 96 MPH knuckleball.
